Of all the threads about rep this one has been the most informative. Even though I'm in the lolRep camp with Westley, it still has some uses. People have even said nice things about me in the comments, go figure!

That's style, and I raise my glass to that rogue.

Now every time I notice a rep change, I have to go trolling all my posts to find the one that changed. So annoying.

Nope. Just long overdue reflection of reality. I'm sure it will be back up again in no time as the people who like her correct the damage done by the people who don't.|

Click the
Icon on one of your OWN posts, and check the number that appears. That's also the only way to see comments, is to hit that button on EACH of your own posts. Lame.

Click your own name beside one of your posts, and search for all your posts. On each post, click the give rep button to check your current rep score and see all rep/comments left on that post.

Blood Spectre . . . you know the post I made where you replied with "Not as much as you think" right afterwards? Well . . . a single +rep on me there netted more than twice my accumilated rep at that point. I went from having just earned my second green, to five greens total.
So, afraid to say that it's ended up being MORE than I originally thought. I was going to guess it would max out at like 100 per rep change.

lol, so it does. Dahjee was the lowest rep I'd seen so far. Too funny.

Although I wonder how fast I could go from max neg rep to max pos rep. Any of yall wanna help me out? I need neg rep.
The reputation system is the 2nd dumbest thing I've seen the mods do here on the boards in the last 2 years.

I would have like to have been there for the "let's leave forum rep on when when activate the new forums - the players will love it!" discussion.

Careful. You'll be told soon that you have no say in what the forum reps turn off or on.|

Even though you were here for the idiocy of the star system and how they eventually turned it off, on the old forums.

I am mostly surprized for what I get rep for both +&-. I don't take it seriously so it's all lol, but it's very interesting at what people think is rep worthy. I have gotten plus rep for birthday posts, for saying someone was my favorite skirt wearing man, and i have gotten negative rep for posting factual info or for warning someone to delete their post when the said on the open forums they where in beta. It's mystifying and unpredictable but at the same time interesting and entertaining as long as you dont take it seriously. I do miss the comments being on your user page as like i said i like to see what was rep'd out of pure curiosity.
I had wondered about the dark green bars as well so it was interesting to know the answer, ty all.

CuppaJo then posted the King's opening speech from Katamari Damacy more or less verbatim.
There was an even bigger uproar over CuppaJo "not taking this seriously".
To be fair, the majority of the posts were of appreciation for both the removal of the star system and the humour in the Katamari Damacy reference. It was just one of the more illustrative examples of the concept of the Vocal Minority that I'd seen.

I know- I was surprised by how many people did put value in the stars (and the current rep system, for that matter). Yeah, it would be nice to say "filter to show me only posts that have a star rating of X or higher" just to sort through the junk that much faster, but the reality is that: we all have different tastes and some will play the system|

These two things will always make server-wide rating systems- whether for posts or people- essentially meaningless.
Want to make it meaningful again? There's a very simple change that could be done... it's just puts a murderous load for the database: Personalize the ratings. Rather than show me the ratings as calculated by the opinion of everyone on the server, show me values based on what my friends think.
- You usually befriend people that share some of your interests and values, so an aggregate of their likes and dislikes is more likely to point you to things you'd have an interest in. important and people you'd find valuable.
- 1-star bandits would be marginalized, as the only people that would see that star weigh a thread/person down are the people that valued that bandit's opinion.
---
Me? The first thing I did on the boards was turn off ratings, as I see them as pointless and distracting, but I privately reviewed them and followed comments. It was helpful to know if something I'd posted and all-but-forgotten had been taken in a way I hadn't intended.

It's a script that searches for my own posts, then uses reputation.php to see if they have any rep, and fetch the comments if they do. Clicking on a post shows the comments it has.

Plz????
Just remember that the Mods can easily see who you rep'd, and what comment you gave (if any, for Positive).
